Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The CRUA is the cheapest monitor in our ranking and its listing leans into that: a 27-inch curved panel with an 1800R radius, listed at 200Hz with a 1ms grey-to-grey response and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. The screen finish is matte, viewing angles are listed at 178 degrees, and the picture quality notes mention a flicker-free backlight and a blue light filter.
Two entries in the listing deserve attention before buying. The resolution is FHD 1080p, which at 27 inches works out around 82 pixels per inch, and the specification table lists a single HDMI port, with 200Hz only reachable over the other video output. At the time of collection it carried 1,306 ratings at 4.2 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
